"You held onto my arm," Mike said.
"You put it in front of my body," Will replied.
Mike looked down. "I was trying to protect you."
"And I was scared. You helped me."
Mike looked at him. "Really?"
Will nodded, biting his lip. "Yeah, really."

So here he is, still awake and blatantly staring. Watching the rhythmic rise and fall of Will’s chest—one of Mike’s shirts on him since none of his own clothes are in Hawkins anymore.
Mike has spent a lot of time staring at Will in his life, and once it finally clicked why he liked doing it so much, he’d become hyperaware. Constantly catching himself, trying to look less when other people were around, to go unnoticed, to be subtle. To figure out what amount of staring was normal between friends—sometimes it feels like everybody else already knows things like that, and he just missed the memo.
Will lets out a soft sigh as he shifts again. His head falls to the side, angled towards Mike, and the hand that had been resting on his stomach now lays by the side of his face. He’s got a better view of Will now for sure, and Mike wishes he didn’t feel like he was doing something he wasn’t supposed to.
Because even in the low light, even with his eyes closed and his hair all messed up from twisting around in his sleep, Will is beautiful.
His fingers twitch ever so slightly, a blink-and-you’d-miss-it sort of thing, but Mike’s gaze is drawn to the movement. He doesn’t understand anything anymore, he doesn’t understand Will anymore after the last few days. But god, he wants to. He wants so much.
Most of all, at this moment at least, he wants to hold Will’s hand—like when they were little kids and that was something he was allowed to do.
@parkitaco and @etchedstars please accept these squirrels. They are in love.
